Design and evaluation of an accurate CNR-guided small region iterative restoration-based tumor segmentation scheme for PET using both simulated and real heterogeneous tumors.

Tumor delineation accuracy directly affects the effectiveness of radiotherapy. This study presents a methodology that minimizes potential errors during the automated segmentation of tumors in PET images. Iterative blind deconvolution was implemented in a region of interest encompassing the tumor wit...
